Today on The Spinoff: “The ideal candidate for a foreign exchange is someone personable and adventurous, with enough charisma to transcend the language barrier. I was none of these things.” – Hera Lindsay Bird on her awkward high-school exchange to Germany. Plus: the trouble with competitive OE “overtourism”, and the police pullback on mental health callouts, explained. But first: Inside The Spinoff today there are two live blogs, and they are always fighting. One is Joel MacManus documenting his third day of travelling the length of the country via public transport. The other is Toby Manhire and Catherine McGregor delivering everything you need to know and nothing you don’t as results roll in for the US election. Which one wins? The one you read.

Can we redeem the classic OE? My Greatest Trip: My awkward high-school exchange to Germany The great Spinoff pet review of RNZ Concert’s Guy Fawkes programme ‘No idea I was in the presence of genius’: Sonya Wilson on her life in books The fifth episode of Home Education joins the “road-schooling” Rasmussens in their house bus. The seven kids learn through collaborative family based projects – here they’re learning about geography, history and politics through designing their own ancient civilisation. Their resourceful mum Bridie is kept busy meeting the needs of her children - aged from 6 weeks to 17 years. The Rasmussens’ unconventional lifestyle has them run into judgement all the time, but “We thrive on proving people wrong,” says Bridie. Made with support from NZ On Air. Sharing is caring!
